Overview
De Zalze is one of South Africa’s most scenic golf estates, enjoying a beautiful setting outside Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands, with mountains as a backdrop. The Blaauwklippen River runs through the property, and two large lakes, one on each nine, add to the aesthetics of the course. De Zalze was the venue for the 2006 World Amateur Team Championships (Rory McIlroy represented Ireland), the only time South Africa has been the host country. The SA women’s team won the Espirito Santo Trophy. The Peter Matkovich design is striking in its varying range of holes. The fairways are generously wide, yet the approaches to greens require precise shot-making.
